Chapter 106: Don't learn from King Zhao
"Thanks to Lou Qing this time, otherwise I would have wanted to enter the city for a few days."
On the way to the palace, Zhao Kuo and Lou Chang walked in the front, followed by Le Yi, Tian Dan, Zhao Sheng, Lin Xiangru, Lian Po, Liu Ping, Ben and others.
Ben has been glaring at Lou Chang with his eyes the size of a cow's egg, if it weren't for Zhao Kuo here, he would have gone up and smashed Lou Chang to death with a hammer.
"The king is expected by everyone, and the minister is just a little bit of a force." Lou Chang hurriedly said.
"Lou Qing rest assured, after Ben will ascend the throne, there will be no less reward." Zhao Kuo assured.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." When Lou Chang heard this, his heart was as comfortable as drinking ice water in summer, and when he glanced at it, he suddenly saw Ben staring at him, and he was suddenly startled.
Then I thought that Ben Na had nothing to do with himself, and my heart was even more comfortable.
"I have to find an opportunity to transfer this fool away from Zhao Kuo, and then get rid of it." Lou Chang thought in his heart.
"Dashuai, it's a big deal, King Zhao...... He's dead. At this time, Yan Ju rushed to Zhao Kuo from a distance and said in a panic.
"Didn't I specifically tell me not to kill King Zhao?" Zhao Kuo's face changed instantly, and he asked in a deep voice.
Although he really wanted to kill King Zhao, it was definitely not now.
Now the only territories he can control are Shangdang and Yecheng, of which Yecheng has just taken over, and he has not even served for ten days, except for the stationing of 5,000 troops, he has not even served as an official.
The rest of Zhao is not within the control of Zhao Kuo, once the news of the death of King Zhao spreads, it will inevitably cause an uproar in Zhao and even the whole world, and rebellion in various places is still a trivial matter, I am afraid that there will be a situation where the six countries will attack Zhao.
That will be a catastrophe for the current Zhao State.
Zhao Kuo's face was extremely gloomy, his fingers squeaked, if even Zhao Fei dared to disobey his orders, then it would be necessary for Zhao Guo to have a great purge from the top down!
"Handsome, King Zhao...... It was suicidal. Yan Ju hurriedly said.
Zhao Kuo suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and then frowned.
The Great Purge was no longer needed, but the crisis in Zhao was not resolved.
No matter how King Zhao died, as long as the news spreads, the Six Kingdoms can use this as an excuse to attack Zhao, and the result will not change.
"Immediately send an order to block the news of King Zhao's death." Zhao Kuo immediately ordered.
This news will not be blocked for long, and Zhao Kuo will be known to the world when he ascends the throne at the latest, but at least he can fight for a while, and now Zhao Kuo lacks time the most.
"No." Liu Ping arched his hand.
"Order Zhao Feiqi to immediately take over the guards of Handan, and the remaining army will be stationed outside Handan City, prohibiting everyone from entering and leaving." Zhao Kuo said.
"No." Yan Ju took the order.
"How long will Li Mu come back?" Zhao Kuo looked at Liu Ping.
"Your lord, General Li Mu will be able to arrive in Handan by the afternoon of the day after tomorrow at the latest." Liu Ping arched his hand and said.
Li Mu followed behind with a large amount of grain and grass, and the speed was several days later than Zhao Kuo, but fortunately, the weather had been sunny recently, and there was no rain or snow, otherwise he might have been trapped on the road.
"Let him see me as soon as he returns." Zhao Kuo said.
"No."
"The rest of the people will follow me into the palace."
Zhao Kuo sped up and ran towards the palace, Lin Xiangru was seriously ill and could not ride a horse, so he could only follow behind in a chariot.
It's Lou Chang, an old guy, who was born in Lou Fu, grew up on horseback since he was a child, and now he is half cut into the ground, and he doesn't know anything about the lake when he gets up on horseback, and his riding skills are more skilled than some veterans.
After arriving at the palace, Zhao Kuo ordered Yan Xiong to block the palace, and then rushed in quickly, ascended to the main hall, and saw Zhao Wangdan lying in a pool of blood at a glance, and the queen who was lying on Zhao Wangdan and cried until she passed out, and next to him lay a child who was still sleeping, looking only one or two years old.
An old eunuch fell to the ground, his head cracked, and judging from the traces left on the pillar, he should have died by hitting the pillar.
Two rows of soldiers stood beside him, and when they saw Zhao Kuo, they immediately clasped their fists and saluted.
Zhao Sheng rushed forward, picked up the child on the ground, breathed a sigh of relief after finding that it was okay, and then looked at Zhao Wangdan sadly, tears couldn't help dripping.
Although he hated King Zhao Huiwen for initiating the Dune Palace Revolution back then, and hated their mother and son for getting rid of Zhao Hao, his feelings for Zhao Wangdan could not be faked.
Now seeing Zhao Wangdan lying on the main hall, he seems to see a scene more than thirty years ago repeating itself, his father and eldest brother died in front of him like this, and all the grief instantly welled up in his heart.
"Uncle Wang." The queen woke up and looked around blankly, her eyes swept over Zhao Sheng and fell on Zhao Kuo, she knew that the young man in front of her was the culprit who killed her husband.
Then, the queen's gaze swept over Zhao Kuo and fell on the person next to Zhao Kuo - Lou Chang.
"Did King Zhao say anything before he died?" Zhao Kuo asked.
"Dashuai, King Zhao said that all the fault is on him, and he begs Dashuai not to hurt his wife and children." A soldier stepped forward and said with his fists clenched.
"Lord, cut the grass to get rid of the roots......" Liu Ping looked at the child in Zhao Sheng's arms and reminded in a low voice.
"O king, do not be kind to a woman." Lou Chang leaned over and said.
"Lou Chang, you ungrateful villain, if it weren't for your husband, you would be where you are today. Now we have to get rid of our mother and son. Go to hell! The queen reluctantly jumped up from the ground, pulled out the hairpin on her head and stabbed at Lou Chang.
The soldiers on both sides were taken aback, and hurriedly rushed up, seeing that the queen was not going towards Zhao Kuo, they stopped very tacitly.
"King, save me......" Lou Chang shouted and approached Zhao Kuo, but was pushed away by Ben, and just happened to hit the hairpin in the queen's hand.
A trace of ruthlessness flashed in Lou Chang's eyes, and his spiritual power burst out in full force, rushing towards the queen's sea of knowledge. At this time, two spiritual powers suddenly appeared, suppressing Lou Chang to death.
Lou Chang suffered a backlash, and suddenly a mouthful of blood spurted out, and he fell to the ground and fell unconscious.
The queen reluctantly pulled out the hairpin, and a stream of blood gushed out and splattered onto the gorgeous clothes, and the queen ignored it and stabbed at Lou Chang again.
Zhao Kuo glanced at Zhao Sheng and Lian Po and said, "Enough, stop her." ”
Ben took a step forward, and his tall body stood between Lou Chang and the queen.
"I implore the general to let the concubine kill Lou Chang, as long as Lou Chang is killed, the concubine is willing to commit suicide, and she will never cause trouble to the general." The queen fell to her knees and prayed.
"Carry Lou Chang down and find a doctor for treatment." Zhao Kuo waved his hand.
"No."
The two soldiers stepped forward, regardless of whether Lou Chang was alive or dead, and directly dragged him out.
Seeing Lou Chang being dragged away, the light in the queen's eyes gradually dimmed, and she fell to the ground in despair.
"Lord......" Liu Ping reminded again.
Zhao Sheng also looked at Zhao Kuo, his eyes full of pleading.
"Put the body into the funeral and bury it with the courtesy of a prince, since this eunuch is willing to accompany King Zhao, let's accompany the burial, and there is a companion on the road." Zhao Kuo waved his hand.
Since ancient times, loyal and righteous people have been worthy of respect.
Soon, the bodies of King Zhao and the eunuch were carried out, leaving only the queen on the ground.
The queen knelt on the ground, did not beg for mercy, did not kowtow and beg for mercy, but just looked stupidly at the direction outside the main hall and the direction where King Zhao's body was carried away.
Except for the queen, all eyes fell on Zhao Kuo.
"Take the queen down, and find a courtyard in Handan to house their mother and son." Zhao Kuo sighed and asked him to do something to a one- or two-year-old child, he was really ruthless.
"Lord......" Liu Ping said urgently.
Zhao Kuo waved his hand, "No need to say it." ”
"No." Liu Ping had no choice but to respond.
"Thank you, general, concubine." The queen held the child and kowtowed to Zhao Kuo.
"If you meet the right person, remarry, and I will buy you a dowry. Don't think about revenge, nothing is more important than going through life in peace. Zhao Sheng handed over the child to the queen and finally admonished.
"The concubine remembered." The queen bowed, and staggered out of the hall with the child in her arms.
"Dashuai, what to do with these people?" At this time, Yan Xiong walked over from behind with a bunch of warblers, only to find that everyone was looking at him with hatred.
"What's wrong with you?" Flame Bear scratched his head.
"Nothing." Everyone hurriedly shook their heads.
Gongsun Long, who was closest to him, explained to Yan Xiong in a whisper.
It turned out that in this case, the concubines in the loser's harem and even the daughters belonged to the victor by default, but Zhao Wangdan was still young and had no daughters, only concubines.
Zhao Kuo asked Yan Xiong to control the palace, even if Yan Xiong picked two of them and brought them back, everyone would generally not say anything. Of course, a discerning person will definitely not pick the best-looking.
But this is just an unspoken rule, and it will not be said on the surface, because everyone is a person who "keeps etiquette".
Now Yan Xiong directly brought this group of people over and asked how to deal with it, there is no way to solve this matter, Zhao Kuo can't say that it is all left to me!
"You kid offended the lord this time, which is considered to be a cruel offense." Gongsun Long gloated and said to Yan Xiong.
"So what should I do? Do you want to bring them back again? The handsome man shouldn't be so stingy. Yan Xiong scratched his head, feeling that his brain capacity was a little insufficient.
"Just look at the Lord's angry expression." Gongsun Long said.
Yan Xiong looked up, and suddenly collided with Zhao Kuo's angry gaze, and was so frightened that he hurriedly lowered his head, "It's over, I'm miserable." ”
"What are you two doing behind your back?" Zhao Kuo scolded, he always felt that the two of them were not saying good things, and their eyes were very obscene.
"Nothing, nothing." The two hurriedly said.
"Dashuai, these are all newly included in the harem by King Zhao, because King Zhao favors Jianxinjun alone, so most of the concubines haven't had time to touch it, so it's better to ...... Dashuai" Zhao Sheng leaned over and said.
"Where's Jianxin-kun?" Zhao Kuo asked curiously.
He has already met Long Yangjun of King Wei, and I have to say that although Long Yangjun is a man, he is really beautiful.
Now he is curious about what Jianxinjun looks like.
"Dashuai, can you learn from King Zhao. Minister...... The minister thinks...... Man...... It's better to match a woman, if the king is not satisfied with these, the minister immediately ordered to recruit beauties in Zhao State, and the handsome man wants to have whatever he wants, just ask the handsome not to learn from King Zhao...... Raise a male pet ......," Zhao Shengsheng said with tears in his eyes.
The matter of Zhao Wangdan raising a male pet has already spread, if Zhao Kuo raises a male pet again, the reputation of the old Zhao family will be completely over!
"What is this?" Zhao Kuo was convinced of this group of people, he just asked about Jianxinjun, and he was able to pull out that he wanted to raise a male pet, so he had to admire Zhao Sheng's imagination.
